Hey guys,
I'm hoping this is just a diatom bloom but since there's so much of it i wanted a second opinion..
This tank was without fish for about 2.5 months while I treated for ich. The salinity got a little high but the circulation and temp stayed up. The light was off the whole time.
I brought the salinity back down, cleaned out the sump and protein skimmer completely and then filled it with water. Ammonia was 0, nitrite was 0, nitrate was about 20.
I did a 30G or so water change and then put a dogface puffer and domino damsel back in.
I also added chaeto to my sump.
I just did a water change and currently my nitrates are at 5. Ammonia and nitrite are both 0. Temp is 77 salinity is 1.023-1.024.
